After all the Bitcoin books you've read, it might be tempting to think: this stuff is great. I get it. I'm a bitcoiner now. But it's not that easy. Just because you agree with the philosophy doesn't mean the roots have fully taken hold on your mind.

"No one is crushed by fortune, unless they are first decieves by her... Those who aren't pompous in good times, don't have their bubbles burst with change.

- Seneca, On Consolation to Helva, 5.4b, 5b-6
